Wednesday night, rapper TIP was slated to appear at a concert at Irving Plaza in Manhattan. Before Tip was scheduled to perform, Manio and Uncle Murda hit the stage for their set when a gunman opened fire on three people inside the green room, killing one other person.
Among those hit was rapper Troy Ave, who was shot in the leg and is still in hospital. The person who was murdered was one of Troy Ave’s very close friends, who was shot in the chest. At the moment, the NYPD is investigating security footage from inside and outside of the arena. Check out some clips below.
